Hi,  Although somewhat off-topic: this default HIJING setting
is consistent with all of the experiments using inelastic cross  
sections that
include single diffractive processes in their Glauber model  
calculations.
I've not heard a good motivation for this, other than the pragmatic one
  that the experimental SD cross sections show considerable scatter.
